A GUARDED LETTER.
What the Executive Board Write
When They Mean Boycott

What the Executive Board Write
When They Mean Boycott"
NEW YORK, June 4--District Attorney
MARITIME to-day gave some attention to the
fac smile letter recently issued by the Gen
eral Secretary of the Knights of Labor at
Philadelphia, as published in this mornings
Sun, calling upon the members of the va
rious assemblies to boycott f. S. Higgins e.
CO., carpet manufacturers, and their Gus
toners The matter was then turned over
by Mr.. MARITIME to his assistant, Mr. Davis,
who has charge of the placing of matters
before the grand jury, upon which indict-
ment should be found. Mr. Davis said that
the letter is very guardedly written, and
could not be made a basis of Indictment for
conspiracy. The matter will, however, be
further investigated. The circular does not
use the word boycott. y It says the General
Executive Board has decided that the
carpets manufactured by this firm are not
such that the said board can recommend.
Accompanying the circular is list of
32 firms in New York city, 81 in Brooklyn,
and in Jersey City and Newark, N. j.,
who handle Messrs. Higgins & Co.'S carpets.
The circular is signed J. w. Hayes, Secre-
tary of the General Executive Board

The Three Mexicans Now Awaiting
Action of the Pardoning Power.

The Three Mexicans Now Awaiting
Action of the Pardoning Power.
ST. LOUIS, June A special from
FL Paso, Tex, says: Gen. Lorenzo Vegar,
the President of the Mexican Military
Court, that sentenced the three Nogales in
vaders to DEATH is in FL Paso, and says that
Col. Arvizu, Lieut.. Gutierrez and the third
prisoner, a civilian, are still in the jail at
Guaymas, pending an appeal for mercy to
the President and the Secretary of War in
the City of Mexico. They were tried by
court-martial composed OF two Generals
and five Colonels and promptly sentenced
to death, on the two charges of kidnapping
and invading a friendly territory.
In Mexican Official circles it
is not thought the intercession of
Secretary Bayard for leniency will have the
desired effect, for the standing of Col
Arvizu in the Mexican army is not of the
best. There is no sympathy for him among
his own countrymen, and the sentence of
death will undoubtedly be executed. A
number of serious charges have been pre-
ferred against him on n previous occasion.
